HORSE-POWER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 311,233, dated January27, 1885.

Application filed November 22, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SAMUEL Cox, a citizen of the United States, residingat Booneville, in the county of Prentiss and State of Mississippi, haveinvented a new and useful Im provement in Horse-Powers, of which thefollowing is a specification, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings.

My invention relates to horse-powers; and

it consists in the construction and novel arrangement of parts, as willbe hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in theclaims. In the drawings, Figure 1 is a View in perspective of ahorse-power embodying my improvements. Fig. 2is a view in perspective,the drivewheel being removed.

Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, A, B, and O designatethree fric- QQHDIOH-IOUS, journaled in bearings in posts D D,

on the friction-rolls A, B, and G. The shaft E of one of thefriction-rolls is provided with a band-wheel, H, from which the power istransmitted by a belt to the machinery to be driven.

0 horse is hitched to drive the power.

I designates the lever to which the vJ designates the driversseatorstand,which may be a turn-stool, as shown.

The weight of the drive-wheel regulates the power, therefore the heavierthe drive-wheel is made the greater the power obtained to within areasonable limit.

A horse-power constructed as hereinbefore described is simple, effectivein operation, and is not likely to get out of order, owing to thefewness of its parts.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

1. The combination, with the friction-rolls AB O,journaled in the postsD D, of the drive-wheel F, and the band-Wheel H, substantiall y asspecified.

2. The combination, with the friction-rolls A B C, journaled in theposts D D, and hav ing each a larger and a smaller diameter, of thedrive-Wheel F,having a peripheral flange, and the band-wheel H,on theshaft of one of the friction'rolls, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixedmy signature in presence of two witnesses.

SAMUEL COX.
